Membership fees

Despite the name, the club participates in all disciplines of running, fell, cross country and road and welcomes applications from runners of all abilities to join us. If you are not sure if the club is for you, why not come to one of our training sessions or one of our regular pub runs. You will be under no obligation to join, but you will get a feel for the club and a better idea if the club is for you. You can merely turn up to a training session unannounced, but it would be better if you contacted our club secretary first (details on the contacts page) and let him know that you will be coming and he will make sure that whoever is leading the group will look out for you. If you are an absolute beginner to running, you too are most welcome to join us in one of our sessions, but please contact our secretary first and he will make sure that you will have a programme with which you are comfortable.

A win for Nick Treitl in the Senior Race and a 3rd for Harley Treitl in the FRA Junior Championship Race

It was a day out for the Treitl family with Nick and Richard taking part in the senior race.  At the moment, we are not sure where Richard finished, but Nick came away with the honours for Barlick.

Great run too from Harley in the Junior Championship Race.  Looks like there could be a celebration in the Treitl household tonight.

Whilst everyone in the club seemed to be anticipating the Calderdale Way Relay, Tim Piggott was making his way, along with Karl Zeiner, up three of the highest peaks in the Lake District.  The total ascent is 3050 metres and the distance separating them is 59 kilometres.  

They finished in 61 position in a time of 9:52:28

Not available on the day of the race was the fact two Barlick juniors turned out for a run in the U8 race.  They finished as follows:

23 Harry Driver 3:09
24 Ruby Beresford 3:12

Two intrepid Barlickers made the journey to Austwick to take on this fell race. Nick Charlesworth of Wharfedale won the race by 4 seconds from Chris Singleton. Mick Keegan came 40th and Jack Ingham was 135th out of the 169 that ran.

The winner of this race was Simon Bailey who came home in 15:35.  A top ten finish however, for Chris Smale who finished in 10th position in a time of 18:31

Jean Rawlinson was our only representative in this race.  She naturally won her category and was 59th overall out of 79 runners.

59 Jean Rawlinson 62:46 1st FV60

Tom 'Machine Gun' Corrigan set off hard from the start, but was eventually passed by Julian Hood after 2 miles. After that, the race pretty much settled down. The Barlick men took the team prize with Julian 4th, Tom 6th, Chewy 8th and Sam Gibbs 21st. Also running were Andy Driver, Derek Walkden, Rachel Lowther, Lucy Beresford and Heather Driver. Great to see Lucy back racing again.

The race was won by Jamil Parapia from Otley AC in a time of 41:15.  The Barlickers finished as follows:

It was good to see the usual pub runners out tonight, plus a few more, taking part in this race.  On the way to the top, Matt Lockyer of Pudsey & Bramley was leading, but Luke Maude was hot on his tail.  When they had completed the loop and returned to the Pinnacle, the situation was the same and everyone thought that Luke was playing a tactical game.  However, as things turned out Matt, managed to hold on to the lead and he ran out the race winner, in front of Luke.   Behind this leading pair, Stephen Chew was putting in a solid performance and he retained the third place which had secured on the ascent right until the finish.   Not that far behind, was Stephen's brother Shaun and  to complete the top ten finishers, was Carl Pawson. 

Lorraine Slater dominated the ladies race.  She took the lead on the way up and with her usual gritty determination,  there was no way that she was going to relinquish that lead.  She said after the finish that she did not look back at who was chasing her, but her lead at the end was comfortable.  It was also nice to see Rachel Lowther racing, even though in the Calder Valley, she had been nursing a shoulder injury.  It was also nice to see so many Barlick shirts out and to see five of them in the top ten.  The results are:

1 Matt Lockyer 26:05
2 Luke Maude 26:19
3 Stephen Chew 26:48
6 Shaun Chew 27:56
10 Carl Pawson 29:19
18 Andrew Driver 30:28
20 Mick Keegan 30:50
24 "Fat" Jock Boothman 31:57
26 Lorraine Slater 32:08 (1st Lady)

37 John Boothman 33:19
43 Glenn Whittaker 34:12
57 Rachel Lowther 35:34 (6th Lady)

To say that this is a hilly half marathon is an understatement.  It is a half marathon with ascent of 2704 feet.  

34 Michael Alexander 2:31:43

Whilst many were anticipating the Calderdale Way Relay on Saturday, a couple of Barlickers made their way to the Lakes for this race.  

48 Richard Lowther 1:44:18
119 Pete Jackson 2:03:35

209 Finishers

Pete was happy with his performance in what for him was a comeback race.

The results from this race, including a full breakdown of leg times are now available.

Full Results

These reveal further facts which were not readily apparent yesterday.  The first is that on legs two and three, Barlick were the fastest team.

The second thing the results reveal is that our vets team were 4th vets team.  

Lastly, they reveal that there were 88 teams in the competition and that our B team finished in 38th position, comfortably in the top half of the table. This is remarkable when you consider that some members of this team were not even running at this time last year.

All in all, they reflect a great team spirit within the club and everyone who took part in this event can be justly proud of what we have achieved.

About us

The main aims of the club are to increase the participation of running in Barnoldswick and to keep organised running as accessible as possible.
